D is the correct answer because you would subtracts what he descended from where he started in order to find out how many feet he descended in all.

A would be the correct answer because he is up in elevation so that makes the 1200 positive and he goes down 20.4 which is negative and is goes that far down!!

hope this helps

Explain why the graph of the equation g(x) = -(x + 1 ) - 3 would be a parabola opening downward.
sashaice [31]

Answer: Because the a-value is negative.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The vertex form of a quadratic equation is: y = a(x - h)² + k    where

  • "a" is the vertical stretch
  • -a is a reflection over the x-axis
  • h is the horizontal shift (positive = right, negative = left)
  • k is the vertical shift (positive = up, negative = down)

Given: g(x) = - (x + 1)² - 3

                    ↓

                 a= -1

Since the a-value is negative, the parabola will be reflected over the x-axis which will change the curve from (U-shaped) to (∩-shaped).

A tram moved downward 54 meters in 6 seconds at a constant rate. What was the change in the tram's elevation each second?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the change in the tram's elevation each second, you must divide the given figures which is now the given formula of \frac{meters}{seconds};

54 ÷ 6 =

\frac{54}{6} = 9

Therefore, the change in the tram's elevation is 9 each second.
